The neighborhood's name comes from Adam R. Steen (d. 1807), a storekeeper who owned the property,^[1] combined with the Norwegian stue, 'cabin, house with one single room', inflected in definite form. A similar etymology is evident in the name of the Majorstuen neighborhood.

The September 2009 issue of Monocle featured an article on Thereses gate, a street running through the heart of the neighborhood, noting its "small-town feel".^[2]
